I’ve been inspired by Christy-Anne at OTH Twitter Bugs to do some of my own digging.
I have confirmed with the respective publicists that the follow accounts are fake:

**Thanks to Christy-Anne for providing the One Tree Hill accounts**
Here’s some tips on spotting a fake account: First, see if it has the Twitter verified seal on it. All celebrities have been encouraged to register with the company in order to show their legitimacy. If they don’t have the seal, check with TruthTweet and Valebrity, two very reputable databases of celebrity accounts. Lastly, check with official sites for the network, show and the celebs themselves. If they are not confirmed in any of those places, odds are they fake. Additionally, if the account in question is following any of the fake ones above, odds are that it is fake, too.
Being a journalist, I have access to the publicists and managers that most don’t have. I will continue to contact them as necessary to confirm or deny accounts but please do you part: do not follow fake accounts but spread the word that they are in fact fake!
